Dwight Howard wants a tiger...

Over the last few years there has been speculation that professional athletes have lost their professionalism. And it's comments like this that don't exactly help their rally to deter such thoughts...

Orlando Magic Center Dwight Howard, speaking about his recent trip to India where while he was there saw a few tigers, said,"I've always wanted to own my own tigers." Ok...if you have a red flag, please throw it. "I've always wanted to own my own tigers." I'm skeptical when Jack Hanna brings a bird onto the Letterman set (and I'm pretty sure Letterman is too by the way). I used to have to convince my parents that the goldfish I had just won by tossing a ping-pong ball into its' bowl had a promising life ahead of it if I took care of it the right way. Which by the time I was finished with my convincing argument (at age 9), the fish was already dead...it may or may not have had something to do with the fact that it lived in a plastic bag overnight.

My advice to Dwight Howard is; get a goldfish first, see how it goes, if you can keep it alive during your 82 game season, then go for the tiger. That way you'll have the whole off season to raise it. And if you have any questions, just give Mike Tyson a shout.
